Kae Tempest schedules March 2025 underplay shows in Bristol, Leeds and London
The trio of intimate dates will take place around their headline performance at this year’s BBC Radio 6 Music Festival.

Songwriter, playwright, and poet Kae Tempest has announced that they’ll be playing a handful of underplay shows in the UK later this month, in support of their turn headlining this year’s BBC Radio 6 Music Festival in Manchester.
Kicking things off at Bristol’s Thekla on 26th March, they’ll stop off in Leeds to play Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen on the 27th and hit the Manchester-based festival on the 29th, before concluding the short run with a hometown show at London’s Village Underground on 31st March.
What’s more, Kae has also been dropping hints on social media that these shows are just the beginning, and that new music - which would act as a follow up to 2022’s ‘The Line Is A Curve’ - is on its way. Check out their latest teaser video below, and nab tickets for the newly-announced underplays here.
